Catch my vibe, bro?

I had vibrations after installing new tires...ended up being that one of the TPMS sensors was broken off floating around inside the tire funny thing is it still worked.

 

Yea. The issue is when I didn't have the lift on, I don't remember this vibe at all. But admittedly maybe I wasn't looking for it as hard. It definitely is a slight rumble strip feeling... but I think aggressive tread does that too.

 

Negative. Turning Rotors is an expression for lathing them, essentially the rotors get slightly warped or have excess brake dust buildup that causes them to have a slight vibration in them under mild braking, it could be coincidental that you are feeling it it after the lift. If its not under braking and pure vibration its likely driveline related

 

Well it is mostly felt when decelerating. Right around 20-25mph. Accelerating, not so much.

 

Update: got one of my tires balanced better and took the CD drop off. Vibes still there. Put CB drop back in as I feel it can only help. Next up, shims.

 

UPDATE: Took it in to the 2 ASE cert master techs that installed the lift. They have a lot of experience with lifted trucks, and have done a few tacomas recently. They took it out, test drove it and said they didn't think it was driveline related. I remember reading on here that a way to test if its actual driveline vibes is to take the driveshaft out, then go ride around in 4Hi (essentially making it FWD). Well, they did just that and guess what? Still the same exact vibes. After inspecting everything, re-torquing and greasing... they concluded it was most likely my aggressive duratrac tires. I have had some balance issues with them recently, and in the back of my head I was wondering if it is the tires.

I'm just gonna live with the very minor vibe I have. They looked at everything it could possibly be and I trust their judgement.

 

Even a neutral your driveshaft will spin .from the rear differential.

 

Do you have any friend that you can borrow some stock tires from, that would’ve eliminated 99% of the troubleshooting you did.

 

Another update. Put about 2-300 pounds in the bed. Sagged a little bit. The vibe is still there but even more minimal and muted. However I think it’s just muted from the suspension being weighed down and absorbing the feeling since the vibes still are there at the same speeds. But definitely an improvement. Interesting stuff.
